A “Topping-Out Ceremony” was led yesterday by County Manager, David Cotton. He reminded us of the traditions behind the topping out ceremony and the importance of this milestone on such an important project for the County. County Commissioners, Courthouse Staff, Design and Construction Team members all signed the final beam before it was raised into place.

The Jacksonville-Onlsow Economic Development [JOED] held a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday for the Burton Park Industrial Building.

We’ve partnered with Pro Construction in a design/build effort to deliver this project. See the rendering and description below:

This 30,000 square foot, pre-engineered metal building, is located in a new industrial park and is designed to attract a large manufacturing tenant. The glass storefront, entry canopy, concrete block base, and alternating panel colors, provide scale and detail to an otherwise traditional and utilitarian shell. A strategy of readily available building materials, as well as minimal site and interior work, balances maximum occupant-flexibility with an accelerated schedule and low construction costs.
